This Maryland self-styled roadhouse is actually a full-scale family restaurant located in a former hardware store in a building that is a historic site. While the menu includes the full range of American favorites from chicken potpie, dry… Read Full Editorial
Good BBQ by Brett A via Insider Pages on 2/11/2008
Franklins is good food and friendly service, but they also surprised me with some good BBQ. I normally don't order BBQ at non BBQ specialty places, too often it is just some old pork stewing in a bland sauce, but I tried some of Franklin's…
A local favorite by laura d. via Judy's Book on 7/17/2007
Tucked away in downtown Hyattsville where I'd never had occasion to go until dragged by a friend, Franklin's is a friendly, funky restaurant that everyone seems to love. The service can be a bit iffy, but the food is always good, and the…
A Fun place to hang out by SJ S via Insider Pages on 12/28/2006
Food isn't that great, but, it is a fun place to hang out with friends. I love going to the general store after a meal at this place. The menu should focus only on burgers, chicken sandwiches, and pizzas--not Shepard's Pie, Chicken…

Very good, could improve a bit by N. Z via Insider Pages on 9/6/2005
Franklins brewery serves up cheap brew at good prices. Most of their restaurant fare is good: stick with burgers and pizza, the salads and quesadillas if you want to go home satisfied. Stay away from the bland portabella mushroom…

After buying Hyattsville Hardware in the early 90s, owner Mike Franklin turned his toy rep business into a gift store boutique with sandwiches and fountain in the back.Ten years later , with the help of local architects, Mike re-opened…
Hoppyness in DC area by damjadi via Citysearch on 8/11/2005
An excellent, laid back place to grab one of the wide variety of delicious beers, including some of the hoppier beers in the DC area. Food was very good, and the restaraunt has an extensive selection of vegetarian items. Check it out!
Franklin's Restaurant !! by Amy L. via Judy's Book on 6/23/2005
Franklin's restaurant/brewery and knick knack shop is a great place for lunch, dinner, or a gathering with friends and family. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is colorful and a whole lotta fun. Even the beers have interesting…
